570701 Here are the long distance rates from Pittsfield for 1957. This is taken from a phone book that Allan Tymczuk had. Remember, these were the rates when our parents were making about $2 an hour working in the GE. It may be hard to read so here are a few 3 minute rates, station to station during the day.  Boston- $0.65, Chicago-$1.50, Fitchburg-.55, Gr. Barrington-.25, Hartford-.40, Los Angeles-2.50, Miami-1.90, New York-.65, Philadelphia-.80, Springfield-.45, Worcester-.55, Washington, DC-1.00.
